Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 173 Giving Gifts
Old Mrs. Chen had someone prepare a meal, and after they had eaten, she asked someone to take them to an empty workshop to settle down.
"You just have to make do with it for now. You can move in after the house is built. I'm sorry to bother you now." Chen Wuyi led a few people to settle down.
"Manager Chen, you're too polite. That's great." Several people thanked him and put their things in order.
Old Mrs. Chen filled a bowl of astragalus, white fungus and lotus seed soup and brought it to Old Mrs. Zhao: "Old sister-in-law, drink some of this to nourish yourself."
Old Mrs. Zhao didn't dare to take it and just refused.
Old Mrs. Chen said helplessly, "We are just farmers. It's just that my granddaughter Youfu and my family started a small business with her. We are not a wealthy family and don't have some rules."
Old Mrs. Zhao still didn't dare to take it. The food looked so exquisite, how could she eat it?
"Eat if I tell you to. Zhao Qian is already working at my house. If you're not feeling well, how can he be in the mood to work for our family? He'll have to worry about you and do the work, and then he'll be a burden to the child, right?"
Old Mrs. Chen was good at persuading people. When Old Mrs. Zhao heard this, she hesitated for a few seconds, took the bowl, and ate in small bites.
[It’s so delicious, sweet and smooth, I’ve never eaten anything so delicious before]
"That's right. You must take care of your health first, so that the children can rest assured and have energy to work." After seeing her eat, Old Mrs. Chen turned around and asked Shu Qing to serve some more to send to Old Madam Chen who was recuperating.
"Mom, there are so many livestock outside the door. Are the people Qingning mentioned coming?" Chen Changjiang and the other two saw so many cattle and sheep outside the door and guessed roughly.
Old Lady Chen smiled when she saw the three people come in and said, "That's right. I've already asked Wu Yi to take the people to the workshop to settle them down first. I haven't decided where to put the livestock yet. It just so happens that you three are back, so I'll leave this matter to you. Go ahead and take care of it."
When Old Lady Zhao saw the main family come back, she wanted to say hello to them, but was stopped by Old Lady Chen.
"Old sister-in-law, you are not feeling well, so take a rest. Eat well and take good care of yourself. We are not particular about these things in our family. These two are my sons, and that one is my nephew. We are not formal with each other."
After greeting each other, they went about their business.
The three of them dismantled the original barn, cut down some trees, and rebuilt and expanded it. Zhao Qian came over to help after he finished his work, while Madam Xu took Xiang Ling to the barley field.
Since Xu Jing was young, he was sent to cut grass with Jiang Zhao.
When Qing Ning and the others came back, the barn was almost finished.
"From now on, Jiang Yi's livestock will be handed over to you and Xu Jing. You should arrange your time accordingly and make sure you don't miss school or the animals' meals."
Today, Yu Wu tested Jiang Yi's knowledge. Although his reaction was a little slow, his foundation was indeed very solid, so he was also allowed to enter the school.
As for Xu Jing and Jiang Zhao, they talked directly to the village chief and arranged to go to school.
Nowadays, the workers at home and the children in the village have to learn to read to some extent.
This action alone made several people very worried. Which master would let his servants go to school and learn to read? It was something they couldn't even imagine.
I originally wanted to arrange them to follow my brothers, but now I think that’s not necessary. I won’t follow the rich families and I’ll deal with it later if I have the chance.
The closer it got to the Moon Festival, the busier the workshop became. Besides the gifts from various quarters, the workshop workers, and the gifts to be given, the stove burned almost day and night, burning brightly besides mooncakes and other snacks.
A few days before the festival, someone came to Beijing. He was a servant of Mr. Yu's family, and he brought holiday gifts from the daughters and sons-in-law of the two families.
Because the journey was long and the weather was hot, the two families decided to send a whole cart of wine and some silver.
When Qing Ning came that day, he looked at the cart of wine and clicked his tongue.
What kind of family is this? So rich? Normally, even a small jar of wine would be exorbitantly expensive for her, but this delivery is a whole truckload. As far as she knows, due to the previous national turmoil and food shortages, Daxia only allows official brewing, and private brewing is prohibited. So you can imagine how expensive this wine is. Even though the current emperor is on the throne, he hasn't yet issued an order to change it.
The interactions with relatives all over the house are also a big expense. It was okay in previous years, but this year we have more space, so we must not treat unfairly those who we have taken care of and helped in the past.
"I haven't been to my grandparents' house yet. The Moon Festival is coming soon, and I'll go there with my parents this time." Every day when they come back from the house, they all go to the workshop and help out in various places around the house.
Mrs. Tan was busy, and when she heard her little daughter say this, she felt happy: "Well, when the time comes, we will go back together as a family. Your grandparents will definitely be happy."
Two days before the Moon Festival, Chen Changjiang and his family brought gifts and drove an ox cart to his grandparents' home. The ox cart was so fast that they set off before dawn and finally arrived in time for lunch.
As soon as the family entered the village, the villagers immediately came to watch the fun.
"This moon bud has really grown well. It looked thin and yellow before, but it has grown well in the past few months."
"But you see, Hu Zi's feet seem to be fine too."
"The Yueli family is really good. I heard that their business is very big now. All the big restaurants in the county use their products."
"Really? My dear, that's incredible."
~~~~~~~
Tan Tianyi and Meng heard early in the morning that the girl and her son-in-law had returned, so they were waiting at the door early.
"Here they come, Kuaizhibei and Xing'er, your sister and brother-in-law are back, go and welcome them." Seeing people coming from afar, Meng turned around and asked her son and daughter-in-law to welcome them.
"Aunt and younger aunt are back?" After saying this, Tan Xia and Tan Qiu ran out to greet them.
"Aunt, uncle, aunt, uncle, cousin, you are finally here. Grandma, Dad and Mom have already prepared the food and are waiting for you."
"Hello, Cousin Xia and Cousin Qiu." They greeted each other and walked back happily.
Mrs. Meng welcomed everyone in and served them some sweet soup so that they could take a break and moisten their mouths.
"Hello grandpa and grandma, hello uncle and aunt." Several little ones greeted people politely.
"Hurry up, the food is ready and has been waiting for you. Come and eat first. It must be hot and tiring on this journey. Your master is fine, but Qingning has just recovered from an illness and can't stand the hardship." Mrs. Meng felt distressed when she saw Qingning.
"Grandma, you're not tired," said Qing Ning.
"How can you not be tired? Why have you become so thin? My dear grandson has suffered so much!" Mrs. Meng hugged Qingning in her arms, calling her her darling.
"It's okay, grandma. Am I feeling better now?"
"Good, good, good health." Meng said.
After hugging Qingning, he went to hug Qingzhu. He felt distressed and blamed Tan Yueli and her husband for letting a little girl go to save people. The two did not dare to talk back and could only listen to their fate.
Mrs. Meng felt sorry for her children and blamed her two sisters and two sons-in-law until her daughter-in-law Ye Xing came to persuade her.
